  • the quality of a channel, or a radio path varies continuously.
  • the channel quality is af- fected by many factors, including multipath propagation, fadings, interference from the surroundings, and so on.
  • GMSK Gaussian minimum shift keying
  • CPM Coded continu- ous phase modulation methods
  • An object of the invention is thus to provide a method and a radio system implementing the method so as to solve the above problem.
  • the receiver can then effectively demodulate and detect a transmitted signal, even though the receiver did not know beforehand the modulation method used by transmitter.
  • This is achieved by a method of the type presented in the intro- duction, which is characterized in that when the transmitted signal is received it is demodulated in the manner which corresponds to each modulation method; an impulse response estimate which corresponds to each modulation method used is formed for the signal received; and the modulation method which is used for the signal transmitted is inferred from the impulse response estimate, and the signal according to the modulation method inferred is selected to be detected.
  • the method is also characterized in that when the transmitted signal is received it is demodulated by only one demodulation method; an impulse response estimate which corresponds to each modulation method used is formed for the signal received, and the modulation method used for the transmitted signal is inferred from the impulse response estimate and the signal is detected.

  • the system is also characterized in that the receiver comprises only one demodulator; means for forming an impulse response estimate which corresponds to each modulation method used; means for inferring from the impulse response estimate the modulation method which is used for the transmitted signal; a detector for detecting the signal, and the transmitter is arranged to use modulation methods which can be demodulated by one demodulator of the receiver.
  • the method and system of the invention provide many advantages.
  • the inventive solution enables different modulation methods to be smoothly combined.
  • Data transmission which is faster than in the prior art is realized particularly in packet-form transmission.

  • Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a receiver
  • Figure 3 shows a block diagram of a transmitter.
  • Figure 4a shows a normal burst in the GSM system.

  • the solution of the invention is particularly applicable for use in a radio system of the GSM type without, however, restricting to it.
  • the receiver either a base station or a terminal, receives a signal by an antenna 100.
  • the radio-frequency signal propagates from the antenna to radio frequency means 102 which multiply the signal received by a signal of a local oscillator and low-pass filter the multiplication result.
  • the intermediate or baseband signal so formed is converted into a digital signal in an A/D converter 104.
  • the digital signal is demodulated in the demodulator 106.
  • the demodulator 106 operates in such a way that it comprises a specific demodulator for each of the N modulation alternatives.
  • an im- pulse response estimate is formed for the demodulated signal in means 108.
  • the impulse response estimates propagate to means 110 which preferably infer, on the basis of maximum likelihood, the modulation by which the received signal was modulated upon transmission.
  • the principle of maximum likelihood can be based on the energy of the impulse response, a signal-to- noise ratio or a signal-to-interference ratio. High impulse response energy, a good signal-to-noise ratio or a good signal-to-interference ratio indicate the most probable modulation method.
  • the means 110 control a selection means 112, preferably a multiplexer, to select a signal to a detector 114 from the demodulator which, on the basis of the maximum likelihood, corresponds best to the modulation of the signal.
  • the means 110 also control the detector 114 to operate in a correct mode with respect to the modulation of the signal.
  • the detected signal further propagates to prior art processes which are irrelevant to the inventive solution.
  • Figure 2 shows another receiver solution which is applicable when differently modulated signals can be demodulated by a single demodulation method.
  • modulation methods include Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) and differentially coded binary continuous phase modulation (DBCPM) methods, for example.
  • GMSK modulation is a modulation method obvious to those skilled in the art
  • DBCPM modulation is presented in the GSM standardization forum.
  • a document associated with DBCPM modulation and incorporated herein by reference can be found by the code ETSI STC SMG2 WPB: Tdoc SMG2 WPB 52/98.
  • a modulation index such as ⁇ /4.
  • the received signal propagates from an antenna 200 to radio frequency means 202 which are similar to those in the case of Figure 1.
  • the intermediate or baseband signal is converted into a digital signal in an A/D converter 204.
  • the digital signal is demodulated in a demodulator 206 and an impulse response estimate is formed of the signal in means 208.
  • a specific impulse response estimate is formed for each modulation method in a specific estimation block.
  • the modulation method is inferred in means 210 on the basis of the impulse response estimate by preferably using the principle of maximum likelihood.
  • the principle of maximum likelihood may be based on the energy of the impulse response, a signal-to-noise ratio or a signal-to-interference ratio.
  • the means 210 control the mode of a detector 212 so that the demodulated signal that has arrived from the demodulator can be detected.
  • the detected signal further propagates to prior art processes which are irrelevant to the inventive idea.
  • the detector 114 may also influence on the operation of the means 110 for choosing the modulation method.
  • the modulation used is inferred again by means of at least partly detected signal, i.e. the correctness of the original inference is checked and the means 110 and the detection mode of the detector 114 are controlled.
  • the detection mode of the detector 212 can be changed on the basis of the detected signal.
  • the signal can be partly detected by means of portion of a burst, for example.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of a block diagram of a transmitter.
  • a transmitter comprises a modulator 300 which is controlled by a controller 302.
  • the modulator can modulate a signal to be transmitted by at least two modulation methods.
  • the controller 302 chooses the modulation method used by the modulator. For example in the GSM system, connection quality permitting, the transmitter transmits a signal at a high data rate by the DBCPM modulation method, but the transmitter which comprises a burst which contains FACCH information transmits at a lower data transmission rate by the conventional GMSK modulation method.
  • DBCPM modulation may have double the data transmission rate as compared with GMSK modulation.
  • modulation pairs include quartemary offset quadrature amplitude modulation (Q-O-QAM) and binary offset quadrature amplitude modulation (B-O-QAM).
  • Q-O-QAM quartemary offset quadrature amplitude modulation
  • B-O-QAM binary offset quadrature amplitude modulation
  • the modulated signal propagates next to radio frequency means 304 which multiply the signal by a carrier wave and high-pass filter it.
  • the radio-frequency signal propagates to an antenna 306 which radiates the signal as radio waves to its surroundings.
  • FIG. 4A shows a normal burst in the GSM radio system.
  • the burst comprises a data part 400, a FACCH flag bit 402, a training sequence 404, a second FACCH flag bit and a second data part 408.
  • the FACCH signal uses the two bits 402 and 406 on both sides of the training sequence 404. It is very important to transmit the FACCH bits reliably.
  • the burst which comprises FACCH bits is therefore always transmitted at a lower data transmission rate, i.e. by the conventional GMSK modulation.
  • burst which comprises a data part 410, a training sequence 412 and a second data part 414 is presented in Figure 4B.
  • the training sequences 404 and 412 of different bursts are preferably overlapped in time domain, i.e. they are at the same point in the burst.
  • the modulated training sequences are also substantially orthogonal and therefore maximally differ from each other and make it easier to separate the modulations.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de transmission de données et un système radio mettant en oeuvre ce procédé. Un émetteur comporte au moins deux modes de modulation possibles pour un signal. Un ou plusieurs démodulateurs (106) d'un récepteur démodulent le signal reçu d'une manière correspondant à chacun des modes de modulation. Un bloc de réponse impulsionnelle (108) génère pour le signal reçu, une estimation de réponse impulsionnelle correspondant à chacun des modes de modulation utilisés. Le mode de modulation utilisé pour le signal donne lieu à inférence dans un bloc de référence (110) tiré de l'estimation de réponse impulsionnelle. Un détecteur (114) permet de détecter le signal obtenu selon le mode de modulation d'inférence.
